We also visited the Arch while in St. Louis - only about 15 minute drive. There is two metro stops at the edge of campus and the school provides a free metro pass to all students for all four years. [View Full Report]

There is so much to do here, including: free attractions in Forest Park, Six Flags (about an hour away), the Arch, Cardinals games, the City Museum (not actually a museum, by the way), etc. [View Full Report]

If you want to ride to the top of the Gateway Arch, make sure to reserve tickets online in advance. I made the mistake of trying to buy them at the Arch and they're always sold out. [View Full Report]

Public transpo is pretty good, but if you're used to a city like Chicago, NYC, or Toronto, you'll be shocked that the subways only come every 15 or so minutes. [View Full Report]

Be sure to use your parking pass that the school gives you and to park in the correct area! We did not and ended up getting a ticket. [View Full Report]

Zoo is within walking distance AND FREE. Forest park is enormous and second in size only to Central Park in NY for an urban park. Bring a bike or ride metro to many attractions and historic venues. [View Full Report]

The interstate is under construction, which is a real hassle. [View Full Report]

Metrolink has two stations at two corners of the school; Metrolink also has a station at Lambert-St. Louis International. According to an admissions official, it takes 20-30 min to get to the airport. [View Full Report]

I took the Metro from the airport to WashU without a problem. The transportation system is not as extensive as in some other major urban areas, but it gets you to the major places. [View Full Report]

The MetroLink (subway) has a stop right on the Wash U. campus, so that's pretty convenient. I just drove from place to place though. [View Full Report]

The arch is obviously worth seeing since its the staple of St. Louis in most people's minds. [View Full Report]
